I never wanted to "hack" on a text editor, I want to edit configs and code.

If a text editor doesnt have ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+v its automatically shit, unusable.

Micro text editor mogs the fuck out of nano, vim and emacs.

Instead of building AGI, why don't we just make humans better? Imagine being able to master any skill. Brain computer interfaces like Neuralink should be elevated to the same level of importance as AI and semiconductors.

Because companies want their customer service to be as frustrating to deal with as possible so their customers will give up before getting the service they're owed. Hiring jeets to do the work is, unsurprisingly, one of the best ways to do this.

It is slowly, several websites I use now handle initial support chats/tickets with an LLM first, obviously you can escalate to a human still, but I assume there will be less of a need to escalate in the future so fewer human support employees required. I think there's obvious hesitation since the systems are unproven, and LLMs can have prompt injection attacks, or otherwise be convinced to do things that might put the company at risk legally.

The reason AI hasn't taken over any job fully yet is its current limitation to coherently work on a given task beyond certain hours.

I know 2 more weeks is a meme here but by 2030 I don't see how these limitations won't be overcome just from brute force compute. On top of that there are bound to be better scaffolding that boosts performance enough to replace human desktop jobs more cost efficiently

PDF is just a container format for Postscript. Open up a PDF file in your favorite text editor, and you'll see that it's full of Postscript with bits and bobs of binary data in between.

Why aren't you downloading all the software/tools for anything you could ever want to do offline on your OS since 2010?

Download sites for obscure tools and utilities go down every year, accelerated since the last 5. Software support cycles are the fire in which we burn.

>/g/ makes an 18th album
Theme: Outer Space Music
Title: [Accepting suggestions]
Deadline: 7th of January

>/g/ makes a 19th album
Theme: [Accepting suggestions]

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?
I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release.
The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.
What do we do afterwards?

Maybe because forums are hard to navigate, politicized and not mobile friendly? I don't like reddit's voting system but at least comments just show a username instead of special colors and decorations to indicate "this user is authoritative." The Reddit method of ordering by high level topics with much freedom within makes more sense than dividing users into a million different little spaces that /are/ topically related but have no cross-visibility. Finally for a mobile perspective, web browsers suck for communication, all the scrolling and input fields and no notifications etc. in 2026 software needs to run natively (even if electron) in order to be viable.

Linus himself as said that if BSD wasn't in the legal situation it was in the early 90s he would have never made his kernel. What do you think the world would be like if BSD was being used for supercomputers and android and /g/ rather than linux? Would Free/Open/Dragonfly/NetBSD still exist or would eveyone just be using 4.3BSD/386BSD?

Don't know about supercomputers and mobile, but the FreeBSD desktop would likely be where it is now (hobbyist tier) and Windows + macOS would be the only feasible options.
